Description

Viking Kingdom of York. Cnut Penny ND (895-920) AU58 PCGS, York mint, S-993, N-501.

Struck during the reign of Cnut of Northumbria, a Norse King whose existence remained undocumented until a hoard of over 3,000 coins bearing his name was unearthed in Cuerdale, Lancashire, England, in 1840. Today, he is theorized to have succeeded Siefredus of Northumbria (c. 895-900), based upon the numismatic evidence gathered from this hoard.
